It's now 40 minutes since the report above (9.11 am) and it says more to come plus you even have a 'reporter' caught up in it. What is the update as those of us who may need to re plan a journey would be keen to know??
The updates on the other link say no more than they did originally.

And as I keep saying, proactive enforcement of driving standards should be an issue for as long as a motorist has a driving licence; the Police shouldn't just be turning up to pick up the pieces and apportion fault as they do. Am I asking too much from them? Joe public does way too much speeding and tailgating, and the roads are set to get busier and busier in the decades to come. The Argus seems to have similar stories three times a week at least.

Waiting for the armchair civil engineers (in their own lunchtime) to chip in with how it's all the fault of the road's design, in the same way Southwick Tunnel's design bizarrely gets the blame for so much.

It couldn't possibly ever be down to the high speeds driven, lack of attention or fiddling with beloved iphones.

Thankfully, using electronic devices of that nature is illegal, so no-one does it any more.

I still see it occasionally. It's usually texting, where it is obvious that they're holding the phone in the right hand by the door handle. But the giveaway is when they're alternating between looking straight ahead to check on the traffic, and looking down to the right to do the texting. Keep a look out for it. It's not uncommon.

I was being sarcastic, but your reply was accurate.

Or driving incredibly slowly compared to the cars in front of them, and leaving a larger than normal gap, but followed by sudden breaking.

Absolutely right but judging from the thumbs down the brain dead and petrol heads don't think so.
